Industrial hemp production basics
• For field, tobacco, tomato production models
• Soil test – fertility, heavy metals, pesticides
• Population 800-2700 plants (1000-1500)
• Fertile, well-drained soil (less weeds the better)
• Tobacco fertility program works
• Tobacco labor, if not more
• Weeds, insect, disease challenges
• Hand-harvest for most
• Need dry area to dry plants
• Strip plants for flowers, leaves
• Proper storage
• Profit potential can be similar to tobacco*
